We launched En Point to support young professionals in starting meaningful careers that allow them to connect their passion to work. We believe that life is too short to do something that you don’t love. We know it takes hard work to figure that part out and that’s where we come in. Through our proven process and online learning portal, we have guided 5000+ individuals through this journey and set them up for sustainable results. Working with client organizations, such as the Black Business Initiative, EduNova, Dalhousie University, Saint Mary’s University, and NSCC, we design and deliver mentorship programs to support their students’, players’, or members’ needs.
Our work is aimed at providing young professionals opportunities to develop the confidence, soft- skills, and connections required to stand out in today’s marketplace and be successful in the workplace for many years to come.
